This plant can be planted near the beds or an infusion can be prepared from it.

Place 400 grams of wormwood, eight chili peppers and 100 grams of garlic feathers in a container.

We grind all this and then add a bucket of hot water.

The product should be infused for at least 12 hours. Then we filter the infusion and treat the potatoes with it.
